Some of you have probably heard about the three conferences coming up in Canada (Montreal), France (Aix-en-Provence) and Germany (Dortmund) this autumn.
Conferences are a great opportunity to learn, network and socialise and we're offering a special discounted price to student members and non-members. For details on the individual conference pricing, please see the appropriate conference site.
What's exciting about the upcoming conferences is that as regional conferences, they are bilingual events with sessions held in French (Canada and France) and German (Germany) as well as in English.
The individual conference programmes are shaping up nicely as well but are still a work in progress. However, we've already got some really interesting talks and workshops lined up, not to forget the full-day training sessions that are run either the day before or after the conference. Here are some examples:
Montreal:
- Opening address by Henry Dotterer, founder of ProZ.com
- Sessions on the focus subject "Translating for the film industry"
- Sessions on the focus subject "Medical translation"
- Translating marketing texts
- Integration of freelance translators into the translation process: Agency's point of view
Aix-en-Provence:
- Keynote speech by Yves Champollion, creator of the CAT tool Wordfast
- Sessions on the focus subject "Freelancing in France - Business Issues"
- Sessions on the focus subject "Legal Translations"
- Marketing yourself

- Hands-on Wordfast workshop
- Panel Discussion: Outsourcers and freelancers: how to cooperate for mutual benefit
Dortmund:
